Lecturer To Speak On Books
The provacative topic “Why Read Books” will be discussed by Leonard Wibberley, author and lecturer, in FH 133 at 2:15 p.m. today.
The lecture is being sponsored by the School of Library Science.
According to Miss Martha Boaz, director of the School, “Wibberly is witty and clever at times, but he can also be serious and philosophical.”
He will explain the difference between writing books and magazines, point out the themes of today’s best sellers, and tell how books are read for relaxation, information, and alertness to current affairs.
He will point out that America’s reading public is not as small as has been charged, especially when the vast magazine audience is included.
His books have included “The Mouse That Roared,” “Dead-men’s Cave,” “The Coronation Book,” “Mr. Gillicuddy McGoth-am.” “Secret of the Hawk,” "Mrs. Searwoods Secret Weapon.” and “Epics of Everest.”
Wibberley is Irish by birth and has lived in England. He is now a resident of Hermosa Beach.
